You are your own person and this is who you are! A dog will never care about your inner or outer scars.
Sometimes the only thing to change is the fact to except who you are, walk free in your own shadow and see that's its OK.
It's ok to feel whatever it is you want to feel, taking any direction you feel is needed and most importantly at the pace that's right for you. Everything came together at just the right time to bring you into the world and there is no other reason than to just be you. Nature has a way of reflecting the beauty in the wonder of the miracle that it is to be alive, for that's what it's like to only see through loving eyes.
These words have been inspired by our first therapy session to help an amazing young soul step out of his comfort zone, this is now something we are going to look at offering because to be apart of changing humans lives the same way dogs helped me shape mine, is what will always be the closest to my heart.
So proud of this young man and grateful for the reminder to find happiness in who are, as we are all struggling at something on some level and it's those that we choose to let in that can help us along the path.
For if I had not stopped and chatted to someone in the park, to then later they become a client, to then some time on, my name got mentioned and had a meeting with an amazing mother looking to try every option she can to help her son, we would never of met.
Never has it ever felt so good to be who I am to help others feel the same about themselves.

- Comment from author about the poem: The tears I burst into yesterday after this amazing opportunity I swear was the abuse and torture I went through as a child finally being let free! Believe me I know it's never all rainbows but those dark days will never make me question my own existence again. Much peace and respect! Always appreciated!

On that day I did and something I'm now focusing on more...
'those dark days
will never make me question
my own existence again.'
brings relief's tears to my own
proud eyes, cherished friend
your journey has been so long
and you've fought so hard!
what an example you are
(after the book
'A child called it'
eventually came
'A man named Dave')
may these days
ink chapters, to the
'A man named Dan'
passage of your life, cherished Poet
(clouds can get dark
but still
they do pass, true
they'll be replaced with yet
darker clouds
then again, they TOO pass
and once in a while
we're gifted a blinding summer day
with clear skies
let's find all the clear skies, in our fate
my friend
shoulder to shoulder
one step and fall, at a time
till we can toast all about it
in that place where we're guaranteed
our well earned rest...)
cheers 🍻
(sorry for getting all emotional)
I laughed at reading your first comment of "turning up late" always perfectly on time! To then share a tear again for having such a blessed connection as our own! Thank you my poetic brother! May we forever walk tall
